First time buyer suppressor advice needed . ( I realize that in the thousands of posts regarding suppressors on Sniper's Hide, this question has probably been well discussed . If so, please point me to the appropriate thread. If not, please share your wisdom with me. )
I'm getting ready to jump into the world of suppressors but feel like I don't know enough about them to make an informed decision: especially since in the US we need to wait 'a year' just to get to get our hands on it.
Requirements as I see them would be as follows:
1) A system for quickly moving it between rifles.
2) Current use would be 223 and 6.5 CM but possibly up to a .30 mag of some sort in the future. Might sacrifice the .30 mag use if that moves it up significantly in weight or price.
3) Main use would be hunting with some casual target shooting (no full auto).
4) In a perfect world, it would be small and light while still being very effective but I'm sure that isn't reality so something that is a balance between light weight and suppression is where I will likely end up. Advice on this would be appreciated.
5) Recommend constructions materials and pros and cons of each.
6) Recommended construction features pros and cons.
7) Any particular brands or models recommended or those to avoid based on personal experience.
8) Same with dealers...Any to recommend or avoid based on personal experience?
I know that is a lot of questions but I'm quite ignorant on the subject so thanks in advance for your wisdom/ advice.
